Monica conveyed every word of the phone call to Jerry without omitting anything.
Jerry and Darren shared the same perspective. He began to persuade Monica, "Why don't we go back? If we can mediate, we might even witness their reconciliation."
Jerry's feelings towards Elisa were complicated; he couldn't say he disliked her, but he also couldn't say he was fond of her.
After all, as long as Gareth was happy, that was all that mattered.
The current situation was that Gareth was filled with regret and wanted to win back Elisa after their divorce.
Monica scoffed, "What nonsense is this about them getting back together? They didn't divorce due to a misunderstanding. Gareth got a divorce for Linda. Aren't you aware of this? The main reason Elisa didn't want to remarry was that she didn't want to repeat her past. If the people involved are unwilling, no amount of talking or doing will change anything. If Mom and Dad like to create a fuss, then let them!"
Monica pursed her lips, her face displaying solemn seriousness.
Once Mom and Dad have exhausted their capacity for creating a stir, they will naturally cease to do so. And once Gareth realizes Elisa's feelings, he will no longer insist on winning her back.
"So, are we just going to mind our own business and leave it alone?" Jerry slightly furrowed his brows.
Given the current situation, if we don't return, we are bound to be disliked and even resented by Mom and Dad.
Monica poured herself a cup of coffee, then said in a casual tone, "Gareth is not a child. Do you think you can look after him for a lifetime? Besides, this matter is beyond your control. If you don't believe me, just watch how they leave in high spirits, only to return disheartened."
No matter how much others try to meddle, it is of no use if Elisa herself is reluctant.
Otherwise, they would have remarried a long time ago and wouldn't be in a situation where there has been no progress up to now.
